To think psychiatry is misogynistic?

Changing the name does NOT remove the stigma - the stigma moves with the new name. A good case in point is BPD - EUPD - CPTSD. C-PTSDis not personality disorder but a high comorbidity rate has meant it has become a euphemism for it - a more socially acceptable name - but the stigma remains.

Changing the name does nothing.

do you really think that people who work in mental health don’t know this?

And telling someone in acute distress that it’s normal can be equally harmful - it’s minimising and dismissive of the pain they are in and implies there’s no help needed as it’s all ‘normal’.

It’s a sure fire pathway to reducing access to services for traumatised people be overstretching the ‘normalising’ narrative as a way to avoid the uncomfortable truth that the stigma towards Mental Illness caused by trauma lies in the eye of the beholder.

But the psychiatrist can't change the past, no-one can. They also are not in a professional position to offer any opinion on your maternity care - they are not specialists in that area and so can't say if your care was incompetent or if you were simply unlucky and had complications which were not preventable.

If you have a bathroom put in by plumber A and later have to get plumber B in to fix it - well plumber B can tell that A was a cowboy and it needs fixing, but they can't change the past. Plumber B needs to work with what's there and do what they can to fix it. Having a long discussion about plumber A doesn't change the work that needs done now. The psychiatrist can't even tell you the maternity team were cowboys - firstly they don't have the obstetric knowledge to know that, and secondly that's unprofessional.

If you’re telling people ‘that’s a you problem’ then that’s a problem with YOU, not the concept of mental illness.

She believes that most psychiatric diagnoses are fake and made up to oppress women and teaches women they should come off medication and engage with her 'therapeutic' teachings to recover from 'trauma' which she believes is the root of all mental ill health. She has no credentials to be offering therapy (which she calls 'coaching') or teaching others how to offer therapy (which she is trying to do by selling courses and materials for thousands) - she calls herself a psychologist but she's never practiced because she doesn't have the requisite qualifications. Her 'evidence' is flawed, easily debunked and leads to teaching that harms women. There is nothing positive about what she's doing because her actions have negative real world consequences for women who are coming off medication that they need to be stable, to safely parent their children etc. She teaches that all professional institutions are misogynistic including social work and the family court and tells women to approach family court proceedings from a position that genuinely causes them harm. I don't buy this line that because she makes people talk that's automatically a good thing, that's facetious and shallow.

Disorder doesn’t mean ‘bad’ FFS. It means disruption. In the context of MH, the word disorder means a disruption to the brains way of working that differs from what might be seen a more typical in the general population. The disruption is also severe enough to be causing difficulty and distress to the person.

I have personality disorder. It doesn’t mean my personality is ‘bad’. It means the development of my personality (the way I think, feel and behave) has been massively disrupted due to childhood trauma, and that disruption has been severe enough to become enduring and last into adulthood.

If you want to think of it as ‘bad’ then that’s on you.

And this narrative of ‘it’s normal response to trauma’ - never seems to extend to the logical conclusion that yes, severe trauma, especially trauma in childhood, may well lead to mental health difficulties in adulthood. Why is that so unacceptable to think or say?!

Well if someone presented as depressed as they couldn’t pay the bills no one is going to suggest they have a mental illness . I mean they are going to be seeing nurses and supper workers who feel the same. In fact if that is what someone presented with they probably wouldn’t even get into mental health services.

we can’t change the soil for people. we can’t change social problems . So we concentrate on what can change and that is ourselves and our behaviour. Therapy is usually about helping people to reframe how they see things and change their behaviour.

The near total acceptance of trans ideology tells you everything you need to know. Only men know who to woman properly.

'This woman who spouts dangerous nonsense is great because you're engaging with the topic at hand' - would you say the same about flat earthers in a conversation about physics?

She pisses people off because she talks a load of dangerous shite. That's not 'good'.

Dr Jess Taylor is a grifter and a hack and her 'views' are not evidence and not helpful to women.

Jessica Taylor is dodgy as fuck.

Exactly this. All assessment end with a formulation that is done with the person being assessed and all treatment is as holistic as it can be in an underfunded system.

the Crisitsims are outdated and all areas of medicine change and respond to the the clinical evidence that is produced.
